HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 3.
Today, little bitty things could get you in trouble if you let them. Pretend you're about to be subject to a "white glove" inspection. Even one little speck of dust could give you a demurrer. Now that you know, you can make your life shine like polished brass, right?
Taurus (April 20-May 20) : Today is a 9.
Love's still a dominant theme, although it may no be the romantic kind. It may be the kind you have with your children or your dearest friend, or even with your pet! Anyway, don't hold back. Let all those guys know how much you care. They'll be delighted!
Gemini (Mav 21-June 21): Today is a 4.
Today, somebody at home needs your attention — and needs you to listen. This isn't the easiest thing in the world for you to do. You're generally the person who's talking. But today, go ahead and let the roles reverse. You could find out something interesting.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Today is a 9.
Continue with your study project now. You shouldn't do anything else. If you can't think of something to study, getting organized is a wonderful thing to learn. If you can think of lots of other things, then organization should be the first on your list.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today is a 5.
The abundance you're receiving now is partly from your work, but even more from work you've done in the past. Your wit and wisdom paid off before, and they're paying off again. Luckily, you don't have to do much 'cause you could be exhausted.
Virao (Aua. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 9.
You're always interested in what's going on, and you're good at gathering information. You remember where you store it so you can produce it when necessary. Do that with information you receive now. It could be quite valuable.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Today is a 4.
Rumors are going around, but be careful which ones you pass on. Follow through on a lead that could help you find a great bargain but don't tell everybody else about it. Maybe your best friend, but that's all.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is a 7.
A friend might help you understand your partner a little better. Something has you baffled, but to this other friend, it's relatively simple. So, discuss your situation and ask for help. You'll get it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 4.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is a 4.
Generally speaking, Sagittarians are freewheeling people who don't like to be told what to do. Today, that could come up for you in spades. A person who's critical could be on you like plaid on pants. Try not to snap, especially if this person happens to sign your paycheck
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today is a 10.
Aaauarius (Jan, 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 5.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): today is a 10.
You should be in the mood to try something boldly innovative. The consideration that was plaguing you seems to be handled by now. You've either solved the problem or forgotten all about it. Either way, the coast is clear to begin a bold new project, this time, just for the fun of it!
You know that invention you were going to patent?
Or, was it an idea for a scientific expedition? All you need is a grant from a big company, or maybe the government. First, figure out what you want to accom plish and how. What will you prove? What will it cost? Somebody's got to do it, so why not you?
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 6.
Uces (Feb. 19-March 20); today is a 8.
You're catching all sorts of good advice again today, whether or not you want it. Actually, it's about as welcome as red ants at a picnic. To your critical friend, just say "thanks." You probably will be a better person for taking the advice, and that will cut down on the noise.

Ali's daughter prepares for first professional fight
VERONA, N.Y. — Muhammad Ali's youngest daughter, who earlier this year told her famous father that she wanted to follow in his footsteps, is finally ready to step into the ring.
Laila Ali will make her professional debut Oct. 8 at Turning Stone Casino on a card featuring Donovan "Razor" Ruddock. The opponent in the four-round bout for the 5-foot-10, 160-pound Laila Ali has not been announced.
Lalia Ali, 21, operates a nail salon and also models. NormalyLinner Cutter, Lalia's publicist, said Lalia had been getting tips from her father.
"She won't tell anyone, including me, what they are," Cutter said. "She says, 'When I have the greatest boxer of all time as my mentor, why would he's given me?' "
Muhammad Ali, who suffers from Parkinson's Disease, had told his daughter he didn't want her to get hurt.
Laila never saw her 57-year-old father box in person, and she had few memories of living with him. But by boxing, she thinks he will gain a greater appreciation for her as his child.
"He's naturally going to see himself in me," Laila said. "But for the first time, I think he actually can see that 'this is my child.' "

Running back probable for Kansas State opener
MANHATTAN, Kan — After suffering a broken foot during summer conditioning drills in July, running back Frank Murphy will probably play in Kansas State's opener against Temple.
Original projections had Murphy missing 4-8 weeks, but coach Bill Snyder said Murphy would most likely take the field on Saturday.
"Frank is practicing and I would guess that Frank would probably be involved in the ball game," Snyder said at Tuesday's weekly news conference. "Again, I don't know, but if

TENNIS
McEnroe named captain of U.S. Davis Cup team
NEW YORK — Just call John McEnroe captain now.
McEnroe, perhaps the most successful player in Davis Cup history, got his wish yesterday when he was appointed captain of a U.S. team that has not won the title since 1995.
"It's one of the proudest moments of my life," McEnroe said.
"Apparently it took this wonderful lady to show some guts finally, and I appreciate that."
the woman is Judy Levering, president of the U.S. Tennis Association. She selected McEnroe after meeting with Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Todd Martin and Jim Courier.
McEnroe succeeds Tom Gullikson, who had been U.S. Davis Cup captain since 1994 and compiled a 13-5 record, including the last championship in 1995. Gullikson will remain as director of coaching for the USTA's Player Development
Program.
MeEnroe has been passionate about this international event. The 40-year-old Hall of Famer played on five U.S. Davis Cup championship teams and has a 59-10 record. He competed in Davis Cup for 12 years and still holds six U.S. records.
The U.S. resumes Davis Cup play in February against an undetermined opponent.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Former Cyclone pleads guilty to sexual assault
In exchange for his guilty plea to one of the two counts of third-degree sexual assault against him, prosecutors will recommend that Spivey be given a suspended five-year sentence. Spivey, 21, will have to register as a sexual offender in Iowa for 10 years.
AMES, Iowa — Former Iowa State basketball player Travis Spivey will be sentenced in November after pleading guilty to having sex with a 15-year-old girl.
"The police and the victims were consulted prior to extending this plea offer, and both thought it was an appropriate resolution," said Dan Gonnerman, assistant Story County Attorney.
The plea was entered Friday in Boone County District Court.
Spive denied forcing either the 15-year-old or a 17-year-old girl, both
runaways from a youth shelter, to have sex with him at his Ames apartment June 12. He did admit to Ames police that he had intercourse
with the 15-year-old, according to court records.
Iowa law prohibits sexual contact between a 15-year-old and anyone five years or more older. Such contact, even if consensual, is felony third-degree sexual abuse, according to Iowa law.
Rockies manager to retire at season's end
The Associated Press
MONTREAL — As he completes his 14th year as a major league manager, Jim Leyland has made it official: This season will be his last.
"Iam retiring, absolutely." Leyland said following the Rockies' 5-1 win against Montreal yesterday. "I'm ready to do something else in the game, and I'm not going to manage any more."
Denver-area newspapers reported yesterday that Leyland announced to his players prior to Monday's series opener his intention to retire at the end of the season.
Leyland would not field any questions about his managerial status following Tuesday's game. He
did, however, reveal his decision to reporters who cover the team on a daily basis and confirmed the substance of the reports yesterday.
"They've all been accurate," Leyland said.
Leyland did not discuss his c
"I'm not going into that," Leyland said. "I'm not going to go through it every day for the rest of the season. That's why I got it out."
On Tuesday, Leyland told the Denver Rocky Mountain News: "I will not manage a professional baseball team again. I can only do things one way, at 110 mph. I can't do it at 75 mph.
I've got to approach it hell bent for leather, with every bit of energy. As far as a manager's position, I don't have the energy to do it anymore. I'm not going to steal money. I never have, and I never will."
Leyland, who managed the Florida Marlins to a World Series title in 1997, joined the Rockies in the off season after managing the Marlins for two years. He got a three-year, $6 million contract from Colorado.
Leyland established himself as one of the premier managers in the majors during his first 11 years with Pittsburgh, leading the Pirates to three straight NL East Division titles from 1990-92. Leyland has a 1,059-1,117 record as a major league manager.
